Professional development goals and strategies are tailored to each individual team member. We seek to understand each individual's professional training needs and their personal goals, and encourage team members to pursue external training as appropriate.

Recommended Employer

Pottinger received the the Recommended Employer award from the Australian Business Awards for 2013, the seventh consecutive year in a row that it has won the award.

Since then, Pottinger retired from the competition, but continues to seek to provide all staff with the opportunity to grow through engaging work, supplemented by appropriate training and development, in an environment that genuinely values them and cares for their well-being.
